My Mum's Craft Shop DT - Playing with Peel Offs

Good Morning Everyone! I have something a little bit different for you today for my weekly post on the My Mum's Craft shop blog. I have 2 cards which I have made without any stamps at all! I have been playing with some of the lovely Little Claire's Peel Offs which have just arrived at My Mum' Craft Shop.

I used some of the garden tools images from the Lazy Days peel off sheet for my first card. The spotty paper is by Echo Park and I layered the peel off onto white card before colouring it in with my Promarkers. The sentiment is also from the peel off sheet and I added a little bow tied from gingham ribbon.

I used peel offs from the 'Oh Man' sheet for my second card. The paper I used are from the My Mind's Eye 'Gnome Sweet Gnome' pad and I added my sentiment onto a tag cut with the die from the 'Notched die and tag set'. I really enjoyed playing with the peel offs and they were great for making quick cards and so easy to colour in as it was very easy to keep within the lines! I will be back with my Ribbon Girl DT post a bit later on this morning.

If April showers bring Spring Flowers....

...what do clouds of volcanic ash bring? I feel so sorry for all the poor holidaymakers who are stuck trying to get home or cannot get away on their long awaited holidays. It's hard to believe one cloud can cause so much upset. The clouds on my ATCs are thankfully harmless.
We haven't seen many April showers so far this month, typical really as this is the theme for our swap this month at Addicted to ATCs. I made these this morning, I only need 3 but I ended up making 5. I finished up with4 as Charley ate one! I used a Hero Arts cloud stamp, Little Claire's wellies stamp, some gems and charms from The Hobby House.

I had a very productive day today, not necessarily craft wise but it was an enjoyable one nonetheless. It was a football themed morning with Jack playing a match and then I dropped the boys off to Darren's work so they could all go to watch the Reading game. I decided to go and visit Beryl at Ashridge Farm Craft shop in the afternoon. I spent about an hour there and helped Beryl choose some lovely Prima flowers for her next order, can't wait for them to arrive! I also treated myself to one of her new Magnolia stamps and the magazine and a couple of other bits and bobs.
When I got home, I cleared out my shed and had a trip to the Dump! A very busy day! I hope to have a bit more time for crafting tomorrow!

ATCs for September's Addicted to ATCs swap

I put together these ATCs today for the Addicted to ATCs September swap. This will be our 3rd swap, the theme is Cupcakes, I can't believe how fast this Summer is going!

The image is by Little Claire designs. I coloured the image with Promarkers and Sakura pens. Some of the presents were paper pieced. I stamped the cat image twice so I could layer it up to make it stand out and used Glossy Accents on the cute little cupcake.
The border around the ATC was done with a Promarker.
Please take a look at our blog if you would like to join in with the swap, we have received some lovely ATCs over the past two months and we have new people joining us all the time!
I hope you are having a good weekend. I am looking forward to some bonus crafting time on Bank Holiday Monday tomorrow!
